Air Canada pilots to renegotiate collective agreement
As reported by Reuters, the Canadian airline’s pilots will exercise an escape clause to pull out of their existing framework, which was due to expire next year. The clause brings its expiration forward to September 29th, 2023, enabling pilots to negotiate an improved deal during “full bargaining” this summer.
